The closer it was to the central space zone of the sea of stars, the closer it was to the ancient battlefields where the Demon Beast Empire, the Star Ocean Imperium, and the Cultivators and the Demonic Cultivators fought fiercely.
In this place, countless Greater Thousand Worlds were shattered into billions of fragmented worlds.
Even if the Sectors were still intact, they might be filled with violent nebula storms, spiritual tides, space swirls, and even the aggressive magical equipment left by the Cultivators, the Demonic Cultivators, and the demons.
This place was extremely dangerous!
It was a desolate and barren Sector that did not have any planets or land fragments that were suitable for the survival of intelligent creatures. Even the stars of the Sector had been savaged countless times in the bloody battles in the past forty thousand years. They were dimmer than ever, and the last brilliance flowed out of them feebly.
At the edge of this Sector was a frigid hell. There were no planets, satellites, comets, or world fragments.
As far as one's eyes could see, there was nothing but an overwhelming purple nebula storm, raging and brandishing its claws like a space beast that was swallowing the sky and the earth, moving forward rapidly on its orbit.
A lot of meteorites were mixed in the nebula storm that was as vast as an ocean. The smallest of them was only the size of a fingernail or a fist, but the largest was more than a hundred meters in diameter. All the meteorites were in bizarre shapes, with sharp edges, and emitting weird brilliance.
Perhaps, they were all from the same asteroid a long time ago, but unfortunately, they had been captured and torn apart by the nebula storm and ended up as the 'teeth' of the nebula storm.
Right then, a weird black swirl suddenly appeared on the path of the nebula storm, as if an invisible giant beast had opened its bloody mouth and spurted out thousands of streaks of brilliance.
Among the streaks of brilliance was a cluster of ragged, twisted objects.
They were Sparkle and Skeleton Dragon!
Sparkle seemed to have been clenched into a ball and stretched out randomly. The previously streamlined shell was now full of wrinkles, fractures, and holes, from which air currents in various colors were spurting out nonstop.
Countless metal scraps were disintegrating. When they exploded, they were like parasites on the body of a dying giant beast that were running away in a hurry.
Skeleton Dragon's condition, on the other hand, was even more appalling.
Sparkle had the spiritual shield and the metal shell to resist the attack, but Skeleton Dragon was only relying on its fleshly body that was extremely weak. He had forcibly withstood the tearing force that tore through the sea of stars!
Most of the silver bones around its body were shattered into pieces. Seven of its ten arms were broken, and two of them had completely exploded into powder. The last one was floating pitifully, shaking like the tail of a tadpole.
His nearly transparent body became incomparably turbid, and the power supporting his body was completely exhausted.
The core in the center of his body glowed red, like a rotten red apple. Scarlet liquid flowed out of the wound.
No matter how strong its vitality was, it could not bear such a heavy blow. While it was struggling for its life, it sensed the nebula storm roaring behind it. It burst out desperate mental waves.
"Die! We will all die! "
"This nebula storm will swallow us all. We can't escape. We can't escape at all!"
The bridge of Sparkle was blinking. Most of the light beams were gone, and almost ten spiritual energy tubes were all broken. Sparks were spurting out of the mainframe crystal processor.
The blood below Li Yao's feet had congregated into a lake. His eyes were hollowed like two red charcoal balls that had been embedded in his head. With a crazy smile, he activated the only four power rune arrays on Sparkle to accelerate at full speed, despite the fact that the structure of Sparkle was extremely fragile. Dazzling gold brilliance burst out from the drill of mystic rays again!
There was no resistance in space. Pushing Skeleton Dragon forward, Sparkle rushed toward the nebula storm that was mixed with the meteor shower at the highest speed in the blink of an eye!
"Last time!"
"Snail! Spin! Boom! Pierce! "
Sparkle was pushing against Skeleton Dragon. It crashed into a colorful meteor almost a hundred meters in diameter at the speed of lightning!
BOOM!
The meteor exploded!
Skeleton Dragon screamed miserably as Sparkle drilled through its body from the center. The core of Skeleton Dragon, which was shivering in fear, was blown apart by the drill of mystic rays. It was obliterated immediately!
"Swoosh!"
Sparkle turned into a streak of gold brightness and passed through Skeleton Dragon's body. Even the meteor behind it was drilled through!
Without the enhancement of the core of Skeleton Dragon, every part of Skeleton Dragon couldn't hold on any longer. Like a high tower made of fine sand, it collapsed in the raging wind!
Countless pieces of silver bones refined from the bones of powerful demon beasts with excellent defense ability exploded!
A lot of scraps of ancient magical equipment exploded!
Skeleton Dragon's flesh, which was almost transparent, exploded!
The enormous demonic energy left by Skeleton Dragon, without the control of the demon soul, turned into intense demonic energy and spread out into a cloud that was as red as blood!
Skeleton Dragon, an unparalleled ferocious demon from forty thousand years ago, had finally been slain by Li Yao. A lot of precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had been left behind!
The silver bones, the scraps of ancient magical equipment, its flesh, and even the enormous clouds were all ultimate treasures that Cultivators were eager to get their hands on!
However …
Li Yao had no time to collect them at all. He was faced with a great crisis!
Sparkle was completely mired in a cosmic storm!
The purple-red cosmic storm was caused by the collisions, swallowing, and splitting of countless extremely intense tides of spiritual energy. It could easily invade the spiritual energy network of a warship and sabotage the circulation system of the warship.
It was needless to say that a lot of meteorite showers were mixed in the cosmic storm. Their speed had reached the highest level, and their damage was as good as the full-strength strike of an expert like Jin Dan!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The spiritual shield of Sparkle, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, was torn apart by the cosmic storm. Most of the operation of spiritual energy was disrupted or cut off. Three of the four power rune arrays perished, leaving only the last one alive.
The meteorite showers were like the tusks of demon beasts. They tore apart the shell of Sparkle, which was riddled with holes, easily and savaged the cabins and the pathways of the warship.
Li Yao's legs suddenly lost their strength. He collapsed to the ground with his arms and legs stretched out. He stared at the blinking ceiling in a daze.
"The damage of Sparkle has reached 62%, and it is still rising fast.
"The last bit of spiritual energy has been drained by me. I can only drive the mustard-level maintainer magical equipment, both the spiritual shield and the power rune arrays. Neither of them can be activated, let alone perform another space jump!
"The structure of Sparkle is extremely fragile, too. There is no way that it can support a second space jump. If I force myself to jump, I will only end up in the four-dimensional space. I will be torn apart into pieces and turned into a grain of dust in the sea of stars!
"My situation is even worse. The sequela of activating the spiritual seed is showing. My soul is drained, and my body is heavily wounded. It takes me a lot of effort to lift one finger, let alone repair Sparkle.
"Even if Sparkle is repaired, so what?
"Just scan the sun of this Great Thousand Realms and you will know. Such a dim star. Such a dim star is far from enough to support a habitable planet or a continent fragment, let alone a world of Cultivators!
"I'm in a hopeless situation.
"Even if I luckily survive the cosmic storm, it is impossible for me to repair Sparkle on my own. It is impossible for me to pilot it and embark on a new journey.
"I've tried my best. There is really nothing I can do. I can only listen to the arrangement of God …"
Li Yao took a long breath. His eyes dimmed, as if he were a drowning man. He stopped struggling and stretched his arms and legs, allowing his body and soul to be swallowed by the warm seawater and sink to the bottomless bottom of the ocean …
Right when his eyelids were about to close, Ding Ling Dong's vigorous roar burst out right next to his ears.
"Promise me. Don't die! "
Li Yao's eyes bulged, and he gnashed his teeth again.
"I can't die!
"I promised Ding Lingdang that no matter what happens, I will not die. I will return to the Heaven's Origin Sector in glory on a stellar magical equipment!"
"I can't give up. As long as my heart is still beating, I can't give up! Even if we live for one more second, we have one more second of hope! "
At this moment, Sparkle had broken into the area where the meteorite shower was densest. It seemed to have been thrown into the bloody mouth of a space behemoth that was chewing hard.
Most of the cabins had been pierced through by the meteorites. Even the cockpit had been hit by a meteorite. The temperature plummeted, and a lot of air was escaping.
If it were an ordinary person, their blood would've boiled and they would've died instantly in such a harsh environment.
Even Li Yao, a Cultivator, found it difficult to breathe. He felt that his body was being cut into pieces, and he was in excruciating pain.
Thankfully, the meteorite that pierced through the cockpit did not hit him directly. Otherwise, even a god wouldn't have been able to save him!
Li Yao gritted his teeth and summoned the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit with the last bit of his strength.
Putting on the Crystal Suit, activating the internal circulatory system, and injecting a strengthening drug that could directly stimulate the central nervous system, Li Yao took a brief rest and began his last effort!
With the last bit of technology that could be activated by the mainframe crystal processor, Li Yao summoned all the mustard-level maintainers to the cockpit.
From the outside, the mustard-level maintainers looked like clusters of flowing silver liquid metal that were wriggling forward and covering Li Yao's body. They penetrated into the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit through the cracks and repaired the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit quickly.
Sparkle was too large for the few mustard-level maintainers. It was impossible for them to fully repair the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
Therefore, he might as well gather them and focus on the maintenance of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
Once the Crystal Suit was damaged by the meteorites, the cracks would be repaired in time.
The odds of survival would be higher in such a way.
As for how the Crystal Suit could survive in the desolate and barren vacuum of space after Sparkle was smashed into pieces …
Li Yao didn't consider the question at all.
He was fully focused on the crisis in front of him. He tried his best to live one more second, one more second.
"Beep! Beep!
Beep! "Both the crystal processor of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and the mainframe crystal processor of Sparkle were sending out alarms.
They had all detected that a tide of spiritual energy and a meteor shower of extremely high intensity were lunging at them aggressively in front of them.
Li Yao took a deep breath. He fell on one of his knees and breathed for a moment. Then he stood up stubbornly. His right arm, whose bones had been broken, was dangling, but his left arm was hidden deep inside his waist, as he assumed the starting posture of the Chaos Gale Hammer Arts.
He waited patiently.
Waiting for the final battle with the nebula storm.
